About

    Healthcare ethics is a field of study that examines ethical issues and dilemmas that arise in the healthcare system. This includes ethical considerations related to patient care, healthcare policies, medical research, and the allocation of resources. Healthcare ethics seeks to ensure that healthcare providers uphold ethical standards and principles, such as respecting patient autonomy, promoting beneficence, and avoiding harm. It also involves addressing complex ethical issues, such as end-of-life care, informed consent, genetic testing, and access to healthcare services. Healthcare ethics ultimately aims to promote ethical conduct and decision-making in healthcare settings to enhance patient well-being and uphold the values of justice, fairness, and integrity.
